  1. i agree. it's the overall tone of 'these guys are a joke' that bugs me. we might have half a million more deaths in front of us. pickett / battle of the bulge etc analogies that imply a larger context of 'last gasp' are off base.
  2. russia is excellent on d. now they are playing defense. lot of wishcasting on how the amassing of additional troops for russia means russia is doomed. we are in for a long haul, gentlemen.
  3. we send 1 active duty dude into DPRK the same time we send a nuclear sub to ROK. combined arms imo.
  4. The Malian Armed Forces (French: Forces Armées Maliennes) consists of the Army (French: Armée de Terre), Republic of Mali Air Force (French: Force Aérienne de la Republique du Mali), and National Guard .[6] They number some 7,000 and are under the control of the Minister of Armed Forces and Veterans. The Library of Congress as of January 2005 stated that "[t]he military is underpaid, poorly equipped, and in need of rationalization. Its organisation has suffered from the incorporation of Tuareg irregular forces into the regular military following a 1992 agreement between the government and Tuareg rebel forces. They have surprisingly good insight into the the corrosion problems impacting Australian F-35s tho." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malian_Armed_Forces
  5. this is a semi public forum near equivalent to yelling from the street corner. you don't know who is listening and when you might be poking someone's particular sore spot. the main difference is that everyone can easily avoid this particular street corner if they don't want to hear what is said. if it's not fun to be here, don't be here. so a bit of the onus is on the listener to let some stuff slide and a bit of the onus is on the speaker to be wary of the huge blast radius of any comment. i think we do a fairly decent job and i don't really think that anyone here is a piece of shit.
  6. WaPo: no combined arms, trenches, mines, pre-targeted positions designed to hail lead on any attempt to move forward? It’s wwi. What else could it be.
  7. The issue is being a decent person more than specific words. That makes everything context specific.
  8. Quick math says his WHIP for the rangers is 0.333. So the short answer is, they don't.
  9. this is the only time i've watched chapman more than just an AB or two. i don't know how anyone ever scores off the dude.
  10. excellent news. i didn't know that. i don't think i'm in risk of overfunding but sometimes wonder.
  11. i liked it, but i suspect it is more relief that it didn't suck like crystal skull. i feel a weird sort of ownership over indy, forcing my kids and wife to see it just because i loved it when i was 8. if it was the abortion that the last one was i'd have felt embarrassment. mads mikkelson is a natural born bad guy and nazis make the best foil for indy, so that part was good. the story was great in how to make nazis the bad guys still decades after wwii. they had a lot of face to face between mads and indy, which i think was trying to recapture this sort of dynamic, where the two guys interact a bit civilly and know each other's value of the thing they're going after:
  12. we are in a political cycle where one side says 'not x' just because the other side says 'x', regardless of the details. euro countries don't seem to have that same dynamic right now
  13. Joke Norm would have been proud of. reminds me of the OJ joke at the Espys. Just a great crowd for this.
  14. i wanna see old school oompa loompas. they were the best part. cgi famous face oompas doesn't do it for me. oompa loompa doopity do. murdering children is good for you. this german fat kid is going to drown. that will turn our frowns upside down.
  15. I've had a related thought based on COVID. We had a million excess deaths, and people only noticed if they chose to. I think that bodes poorly for this war, where the press there chooses not to notice.
  16. She’s the devil and she’s here to do the devils business. Nah. It was something stupider than that.
  17. killing the higher ups is good imo. in a political system not subject to pressure from the masses, you have to make the people in charge feel discomfort somehow. garroting is kosher.
